Depression in Older Adults

Description

Being a senior can be a time of great joy, and great losses. But feeling sad or lonely is not a part of aging. If you feel sad, hopeless or bored with things you normally enjoy for weeks or months, you may be experiencing depression.

This easy-to-read guide is intended to help seniors and their families learn more about signs of depression, treatments, and where to find help.

This 12-page booklet was developed by the Canadian Coalition for Seniors` Mental Health (CCSMH) and adapted from the CCSMH National Guidelines for Seniors' Mental Health.
